This ensures consistent capture of essential information throughout the organization, in accordance with the admin's specifications.

Personal & Shared Folders

Custom Fields created within a folder are readily available for all citations stored in that particular folder, whether they are personal or shared. This simplifies the process of organizing important information and taking notes as users read and annotate their content. Users have the flexibility to capture any data that suits their needs.

Exporting Data to Excel/CSV

This latest enhancement now enables the effortless export of valuable user-created Custom Fields information in both Excel and CSV formats. To simplify this process, we have introduced additional columns to the existing Export functionality.

Once you have everything set up, you will receive an email containing a concise list of the updated folders, complete with links to easily access their content.

Visual Indicators for New Items

With our new update, you can easily identify new items added to a Shared Folder or Company Shared Folder at a glance. When users add new items through Drag & Drop, saving them, or importing them, the folder's grid view will highlight these items in bold and display a distinctive orange dot for quick recognition.

"Date Added" Column

To further enhance organization and tracking, we have added a new column to the folder's grid view that displays the precise date when a citation was added to that folder. Whether it was added today, 2-4 days ago, a week ago, or even longer, you can now readily keep track of when each item was included.

These valuable additions work together to deliver a streamlined workflow, making organization and collaboration a breeze.
